Toward Somatic Coherence: Five Teachers Engaged in Embodied Ways in Their Professional Development Path
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Emond, Geneviève – McGill Journal of Education, 2021
According to Johnson (2007), learning and teaching arise from a human being's bodily experience in relationship with others and the environment (embodiment). Many teachers perceive and mobilize their bodies in rather unconscious ways. Becoming conscious of their perceptions can help them teach. It can also influence their internal/external…

Perception of the Motion Trajectory of Objects from Moving Cast Shadows in Infant Japanese Macaques ("Macaca fuscata")
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Imura, Tomoko; Adachi, Ikuma; Hattori, Yuko; Tomonaga, Masaki – Developmental Science, 2013
The shadows cast by moving objects enable human adults and infants to infer the motion trajectories of objects. Nonhuman animals must also be able to discriminate between objects and their shadows and infer the spatial layout of objects from cast shadows. However, the evolutionary and comparative developmental origins of sensitivity to cast…

Infant Behavior and Development in Relation to Fetal Movement and Habituation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Madison, Lynda S.; And Others – Child Development, 1986
Evaluated the relation between fetal activity and postnatal behavior and development by measuring the amount of fetal movement occurring in response to stimulation and the number of stimulus applications necessary for habituation. Preliminary evidence suggests that fetal rate of habituation predicts some aspects of infant behavior and development…

The Detection of Slow Stimulus Movement in Two- to Five-Month-Olds.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dannemiller, James L.; Freedland, Robert L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1989
Preferences for moving versus static bars were assessed in 8-, 16-, and 20-week-old infants. Findings revealed that at both 16 and 20 weeks, preferences were affected only by the velocity of the bar's movement. This effect persisted at 20 weeks even when static reference features were added to the display. (RH)
